Hakka Steamed (Vegetarian) Pork with Yam

How's everyone doing during this year end holiday? Mine is super excited with full of visitors in my house and full of programms and food!! Yes, visitors are still having fun here right now, but I managed to have some quiet time for myself to update a post here..:)Well, this was a dish that I've cooked 2 weeks ago, but only have the time to post it now. It was another of my 1st attempt, a Hakka dish which is quite porpular. Anyhow, I've cooked it with some vegetarian meat instead. Result was acceptable.

I can say this sauce was super duper delicious. It can be cook with any other dishes with meat and vege. A recipe adapted from "Hawker's Fair....Sauces"

Method:~ Heat up some oil, saute chopped garlic and shallots until fragnant. Add in remaining ingredients and bring to boil. Add in some cornstarch and cook until thicken.

** Storage time : 1 month (in the fridge)

Hakka Steamed Pork Belly with Yam:

1 kg pork belly (I used vegetarian meat)

500g Yam

Marinade:

1 tbsp light soy sauce

Gravy:

4 tbsps Hakka Nam Yee sauce

200ml water

Method:

~ Cut belly into 3-4 big pieces and mix with marinade ingredients. Dee-fry in hot oil until golden brown. Dish up and rinse with water. Use fork and prick some holes on the skin. Cut into 1.5cm thick slices. Set aside.

~ Cut Yam into 1 cm thick slices and deep-fry until golden brown, Dish up and drain. Set aside.

~ Arrange pork belly and yam onto a steaming bowl or pan and pour over gravy.
